About the Talk
Tom Gayner is the CIO of Markel Corp, where he manages the company's investment portfolio. He talks about his journey as an individual and value investor. A recent Wall Street Journal feature on Mr Gayner's investing style mentions: "He has an outstanding investing record. He works only for Markel and doesn’t take outside clients, but every investor can learn from him.You never would know any of this [extraordinary success] from listening to Mr. Gayner. After a good year, most portfolio managers beat their chests even harder than they beat the market; Mr. Gayner’s 2014 report merely said, “our overall equity portfolio earned 18.6%,” without even mentioning that the S&P 500 was up 13.7%.Instead of trying to mimic the inimitable brilliance of Mr. Buffett, maybe more investors should emulate the common sense and patience of Mr. Gayner."

From transportation to energy, and everything in between, should the government invest money in as many promising projects as possible? Or would that actually doom many of those ventures to failure? Burt Folsom, historian and professor at Hillsdale College, answers those questions by drawing on the fascinating history of the race to build America's railroads and airplanes.

Script:
In 2011, a solar power company called Solyndra declared bankruptcy. A company going bankrupt is not news. But Solyndra was not just any company. Its biggest “investor” was the federal government which had given it $500 million dollars. That was news.
But, really, it shouldn’t have been. If history is any guide, it was quite predictable. The government is a very poor investor. And always has been. There are countless examples, but two should serve our purpose here.
After the Civil War, American leaders were anxious to bind the country’s North, South, East, and West regions together with transcontinental railroads. Congress therefore gave massive federal aid to build the Union Pacific, the Central Pacific, and later the Northern PacificRailroads. But all three of these roads had huge financial problems. The UnionPacific, for example, was mired in financial scandal from its inception, went bankrupt several times, and had to rebuild large sections of track thanks to shoddy construction practices.
At that same time, James J. Hill, with no federal aid whatsoever, built a railroad from St. Paul to Seattle -- the Great Northern. How was Hill able to do with private funds what the Union Pacific failed to do with a gift of tens of millions of federal dollars?
The starting point is incentives. The Union Pacific was paid by the government for each mile of road it built. It was in the railroad’s interest not to build the road straight. The more miles it took the UP to cross Nebraska, for example, the more money it made.
Hill, by contrast, used his own capital. To make a profit, he had to build his Great Northern Railroad sturdy and straight. Hill’s company remained in business for almost a hundred years until 1970 when it merged with other railroads. The original Union Pacific, riddled with corruption and numerous other financial misdeeds, including the wholesale bribery of public officials, went broke within ten years.
The story of the airplane is even more stark. By the opening of the twentieth century, the major nations of Europe and America were frantically at work trying to invent a flying machine. The first nation to do so would have a huge military and commercial advantage.
In fact, leading American politicians of the day, such as Teddy Roosevelt, President William McKinley, and others argued that building an airplane was a national emergency. There was no time, they argued, to wait for private industry to get the job done. The government needed to pick the best aeronautics expert and give him the money he needed.
That expert was Samuel Langley, the president of the prestigious Smithsonian Institution and holder of honorary degrees from Harvard, Yale, Oxford, and Cambridge. Langley was already an accomplished inventor and he had written a highly praised book Experiments in Aerodynamics. Federal officials gave Langley funds for two trial flights. He immediately set to work. His theory was that his plane needed to be thrust into the air from a houseboat on the Potomac River. The big engine on the plane would then propel it through air for several minutes.

Balance sheets are one of the 3 financial statements that we use to measure the value of a company. A balance sheet gives the value of all of the assets and liabilities in a company, and shows the difference between the two as equity. http://bit.ly/1K9srFX

West African Minerals Corporation (WAFM) is an AIM-listed iron ore mining and
exploration group with one of the largest land positions in Cameroon considered
prospective for high-tonnage, hematite-rich direct shipping ore (DSO). Through
its wholly-owned subsidiary CMC SA, WAFM owns 100% interest in six exploration
permits spanning the coastal vicinity of the deep water port of Kribi.
A large-scale exploration programme is currently underway to outline the nearterm
potential of WAFM's coastal permits towards production in relatively short
time and at low cost, in addition to establishing large volume resources close
to the proposed south Cameroon rail corridor. The regional prospectivity of
southern Cameroon as the next major iron ore frontier is exemplified by increasing
exploration activity and investment by global majors and diversified mining
companies.

I remember a long time ago when I was struggling how to start a real estate investment company. I had zero experience and had lost more than a half million dollars in bad deals. You could say I was desperate for a real estate investment mentor who could help me grow not only my income but my skills.
If you're reading this sentence, I suspect you're desperate to learn the finer nuances of your first few deals. Ones that get your cash flow moving and boost your confidence. This is the type of training I offer my one-on-one coaching students. Plus they learn how to replicate my business model.
Too many real estate gurus don't understand how to start a real estate investment company. They usually have been handed a business from family or spend more time teaching than actually doing their own deals. That's not where you want to invest your time.
I'm often asked about if my real estate investment company offers custom coaching. Yes andI've worked with hundreds of students who want to replicate my thriving business model.
Replication is essential to real estate investing. You need to pinpoint the best high-end model and then apply it in your market. That's how we built our own model to generate 8-10 deals a week.
If you're ready to learn what I'm doing with my elite national coaching students, here's what you need to do next.
If you're ready to learn how to start a real estate investment company you have an important decision to make. Do you want to dabble with half-baked training or watch over my shoulder how I close 8-10 deals per month?

Listed companies

Corporation

A corporation is a company or group of people authorized to act as a single entity (legally a person) and recognized as such in law. Early incorporated entities were established by charter (i.e. by an ad hoc act granted by a monarch or passed by a parliament or legislature). Most jurisdictions now allow the creation of new corporations through registration.

Corporations come in many different types but are usually divided by the law of the jurisdiction where they are chartered into two kinds: by whether or not they can issue stock, or by whether or not they are for profit.

Where local law distinguishes corporations by ability to issue stock, corporations allowed to do so are referred to as "stock corporations", ownership of the corporation is through stock, and owners of stock are referred to as "stockholders." Corporations not allowed to issue stock are referred to as "non-stock" corporations, those who are considered the owners of the corporation are those who have obtained membership in the corporation, and are referred to as a "member" of the corporation.

Real estate

Real estate is "property consisting of land and the buildings on it, along with its natural resources such as crops, minerals, or water; immovable property of this nature; an interest vested in this (also) an item of real property; (more generally) buildings or housing in general. Also: the business of real estate; the profession of buying, selling, or renting land, buildings or housing."

Residential real estate

Residential real estate is a type of property, containing either a single family or multifamily structure, that is available for occupation for non-business purposes.

Residences can be classified by, if, and how they are connected to neighbouring residences and land. Different types of housing tenure can be used for the same physical type. For example, connected residents might be owned by a single entity and leased out, or owned separately with an agreement covering the relationship between units and common areas and concerns.

A large-scale exploration programme is currently underway to outline the nearterm
potential of WAFM's coastal permits towards production in relatively short
time and at low cost, in addition to establishing large volume resources close
to the proposed south Cameroon rail corridor. The regional prospectivity of
southern Cameroon as the next major iron ore frontier is exemplified by increasing
exploration activity and investment by global majors and diversified mining
companies.

I remember a long time ago when I was struggling how to start a real estate investment company. I had zero experience and had lost more than a half million dollars in bad deals. You could say I was desperate for a real estate investment mentor who could help me grow not only my income but my skills.
If you're reading this sentence, I suspect you're desperate to learn the finer nuances of your first few deals. Ones that get your cash flow moving and boost your confidence. This is the type of training I offer my one-on-one coaching students. Plus they learn how to replicate my business model.
Too many real estate gurus don't understand how to start a real estate investment company. They usually have been handed a business from family or spend more time teaching than actually doing their own deals. That's not where you want to invest your time.
I'm often asked about if my real estate investment company offers custom coaching. Yes andI've worked with hundreds of students who want to replicate my thriving business model.
Replication is essential to real estate investing. You need to pinpoint the best high-end model and then apply it in your market. That's how we built our own model to generate 8-10 deals a week.
If you're ready to learn what I'm doing with my elite national coaching students, here's what you need to do next.
If you're ready to learn how to start a real estate investment company you have an important decision to make. Do you want to dabble with half-baked training or watch over my shoulder how I close 8-10 deals per month?
Watch more of my videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKgd6HmlZm802C9riYjxZ_A.
We're not a cookie-cutter real estate investing team. Instead, you will work directly with us learning how to investing in real estate. This personal approach will give you the leverage to become a deal closing machine.

Why Private Investment Works & Govt. Investment Doesn't

From transportation to energy, and everything in between, should the government invest money in as many promising projects as possible? Or would that actually doom many of those ventures to failure? Burt Folsom, historian and professor at Hillsdale College, answers those questions by drawing on the fascinating history of the race to build America's railroads and airplanes.

Vanguard leader's advice for a young investor

1/4/2018 Webcast: Our new leaders look ahead to 2018
Tips for a new investor and a new retiree
Important information
All investing is subject to risk, including possible loss of principal.
Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss.
Bond funds are subject to the risk that an issuer will fail to make payments on time, and that bond prices will decline because of rising interest rates or negative perceptions of an issuer's ability to make payments. High-yield bonds generally have medium- and lower-range credit quality ratings and are therefore subject to a higher level of credit risk than bonds with higher credit quality ratings.
Investments in target-date funds are subject to the risks of their underlying funds. The year in the fund name refers to the approximat...

In 2011, a solar power company called Solyndra declared bankruptcy. A company going bankrupt is not news. But Solyndra was not just any company. Its biggest “investor” was the federal government which had given it $500 million dollars. That was news.
But, really, it shouldn’t have been. If history is any guide, it was quite predictable. The government is a very poor investor. And always has been. There are countless examples, but two should serve our purpose here.
After the Civil War, American leaders were anxious to bind the country’s North, South, East, and West regions together with transcontinental railroads. Congress therefore gave massive federal aid to build the Union Pacific, the Central Pacific, and later the Northern PacificRailroads. But all three of these roads had huge financial problems. The UnionPacific, for example, was mired in financial scandal from its inception, went bankrupt several times, and had to rebuild large sections of track thanks to shoddy construction practices.
At that same time, James J. Hill, with no federal aid whatsoever, built a railroad from St. Paul to Seattle -- the Great Northern. How was Hill able to do with private funds what the Union Pacific failed to do with a gift of tens of millions of federal dollars?
The starting point is incentives. The Union Pacific was paid by the government for each mile of road it built. It was in the railroad’s interest not to build the road straight. The more miles it took the UP to cross Nebraska, for example, the more money it made.
Hill, by contrast, used his own capital. To make a profit, he had to build his Great Northern Railroad sturdy and straight. Hill’s company remained in business for almost a hundred years until 1970 when it merged with other railroads. The original Union Pacific, riddled with corruption and numerous other financial misdeeds, including the wholesale bribery of public officials, went broke within ten years.
The story of the airplane is even more stark. By the opening of the twentieth century, the major nations of Europe and America were frantically at work trying to invent a flying machine. The first nation to do so would have a huge military and commercial advantage.
In fact, leading American politicians of the day, such as Teddy Roosevelt, President William McKinley, and others argued that building an airplane was a national emergency. There was no time, they argued, to wait for private industry to get the job done. The government needed to pick the best aeronautics expert and give him the money he needed.
That expert was Samuel Langley, the president of the prestigious Smithsonian Institution and holder of honorary degrees from Harvard, Yale, Oxford, and Cambridge. Langley was already an accomplished inventor and he had written a highly praised book Experiments in Aerodynamics. Federal officials gave Langley funds for two trial flights. He immediately set to work. His theory was that his plane needed to be thrust into the air from a houseboat on the Potomac River. The big engine on the plane would then propel it through air for several minutes.

The show presents investors with the opportunity to gain unique investment insights, to meet with top company executives and to discover and discuss exciting investment opportunities. In its 12th year the Master Investor was busier than ever before with over 2500 dedicated investors in attendance.
Back by popular demand the Rising StarsStage returned for 2014 to give exhibiting companies the chance to put themselves in the spotlight.

West African Minerals Corporation (WAFM) is an AIM-listed iron ore mining and
exploration group with one of the largest land positions in Cameroon considered
prospective for high-tonnage, hematite-rich direct shipping ore (DSO). Through
its wholly-owned subsidiary CMC SA, WAFM owns 100% interest in six exploration
permits spanning the coastal vicinity of the deep water port of Kribi.
A large-scale exploration programme is currently underway to outline the nearterm
potential of WAFM's coastal permits towards production in relatively short
time and at low cost, in addition to establishing large volume resources close
to the proposed south Cameroon rail corridor. The regional prospectivity of
southern Cameroon as the next major iron ore frontier is exemplified by increasing
exploration activity and investment by global majors and diversified mining
companies.

00:41 My team meeting about offers and counters
01:31 How to start a real estate investment company
02:36 Your very first offer needs to be low
02:58 Why it's vital to being quiet after an offer
03:35 Remember, whoever speaks first loses
04:46 Negotiating real estate deals takes practice
06:35 We do nearly a deal a day in my company
08:00 Contact me for a personal consult
Call me at 404 915 9685. If you get my voicemail, please leave a detailed message and I will return your call promptly.
Or email me at peterv@pvretraining.com.
Learn more at http://coachingbypeter.com.
I remember a long time ago when I was struggling how to start a real estate investment company. I had zero experience and had lost more than a half million dollars in bad deals. You could say I was desperate for a real estate investment mentor who could help me grow not only my income but my skills.
If you're reading this sentence, I suspect you're desperate to learn the finer nuances of your first few deals. Ones that get your cash flow moving and boost your confidence. This is the type of training I offer my one-on-one coaching students. Plus they learn how to replicate my business model.
Too many real estate gurus don't understand how to start a real estate investment company. They usually have been handed a business from family or spend more time teaching than actually doing their own deals. That's not where you want to invest your time.
I'm often asked about if my real estate investment company offers custom coaching. Yes andI've worked with hundreds of students who want to replicate my thriving business model.
Replication is essential to real estate investing. You need to pinpoint the best high-end model and then apply it in your market. That's how we built our own model to generate 8-10 deals a week.
If you're ready to learn what I'm doing with my elite national coaching students, here's what you need to do next.
If you're ready to learn how to start a real estate investment company you have an important decision to make. Do you want to dabble with half-baked training or watch over my shoulder how I close 8-10 deals per month?
Watch more of my videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKgd6HmlZm802C9riYjxZ_A.
We're not a cookie-cutter real estate investing team. Instead, you will work directly with us learning how to investing in real estate. This personal approach will give you the leverage to become a deal closing machine.

Tom Gayner: "The Evolution of a Value Investor" | Talks at Google

About the Talk
Tom Gayner is the CIO of Markel Corp, where he manages the company's investment portfolio. He talks about his journey as an individual and value investor. A recent Wall Street Journal feature on Mr Gayner's investing style mentions: "He has an outstanding investing record. He works only for Markel and doesn’t take outside clients, but every investor can learn from him.You never would know any of this [extraordinary success] from listening to Mr. Gayner. After a good year, most portfolio managers beat their chests even harder than they beat the market; Mr. Gayner’s 2014 report merely said, “our overall equity portfolio earned 18.6%,” without even mentioning that the S&P 500 was up 13.7%.Instead of trying to mimic the inimitable brilliance of Mr. Buffett, maybe more investors should emulate the common sense and patience of Mr. Gayner."
About the Author
Tom Gayner is the president and Chief Investment Officer at Markel, and a Director at Graham Holdings, Colfax, the DavisMutual Funds as well as The Community Fund of Richmond and the Bon Secours Health System. Mr. Gayner, who is a CPA, worked as an accountant, a stockbroker and an equity analyst before joining Markel in 1990.

MoneyWeek videos are designed to help you become a better investor, and to give you a better understanding of the markets. They’re aimed at both beginners and more experienced investors.
In all our videos we explain things in an easy-to-understand way. Some videos are about important ideas and concepts. Others are about investment stories and themes in the news. The emphasis is on clarity and brevity. We don’t want to waste your time with a 20-minute video that could easily be so much shorter.

Why Private Investment Works & Govt. Investment Doesn't

From transportation to energy, and everything in between, should the government invest money in as many promising projects as possible? Or would that actually doom many of those ventures to failure? Burt Folsom, historian and professor at Hillsdale College, answers those questions by drawing on the fascinating history of the race to build America's railroads and airplanes.

Script:
In 2011, a solar power company called Solyndra declared bankruptcy. A company going bankrupt is not news. But Solyndra was not just any company. Its biggest “investor” was the federal government which had given it $500 million dollars. That was news.
But, really, it shouldn’t have been. If history is any guide, it was quite predictable. The government is a very poor investor. And always has been. There are countless examples, but two should serve our purpose here.
After the Civil War, American leaders were anxious to bind the country’s North, South, East, and West regions together with transcontinental railroads. Congress therefore gave massive federal aid to build the Union Pacific, the Central Pacific, and later the Northern PacificRailroads. But all three of these roads had huge financial problems. The UnionPacific, for example, was mired in financial scandal from its inception, went bankrupt several times, and had to rebuild large sections of track thanks to shoddy construction practices.
At that same time, James J. Hill, with no federal aid whatsoever, built a railroad from St. Paul to Seattle -- the Great Northern. How was Hill able to do with private funds what the Union Pacific failed to do with a gift of tens of millions of federal dollars?
The starting point is incentives. The Union Pacific was paid by the government for each mile of road it built. It was in the railroad’s interest not to build the road straight. The more miles it took the UP to cross Nebraska, for example, the more money it made.
Hill, by contrast, used his own capital. To make a profit, he had to build his Great Northern Railroad sturdy and straight. Hill’s company remained in business for almost a hundred years until 1970 when it merged with other railroads. The original Union Pacific, riddled with corruption and numerous other financial misdeeds, including the wholesale bribery of public officials, went broke within ten years.
The story of the airplane is even more stark. By the opening of the twentieth century, the major nations of Europe and America were frantically at work trying to invent a flying machine. The first nation to do so would have a huge military and commercial advantage.
In fact, leading American politicians of the day, such as Teddy Roosevelt, President William McKinley, and others argued that building an airplane was a national emergency. There was no time, they argued, to wait for private industry to get the job done. The government needed to pick the best aeronautics expert and give him the money he needed.
That expert was Samuel Langley, the president of the prestigious Smithsonian Institution and holder of honorary degrees from Harvard, Yale, Oxford, and Cambridge. Langley was already an accomplished inventor and he had written a highly praised book Experiments in Aerodynamics. Federal officials gave Langley funds for two trial flights. He immediately set to work. His theory was that his plane needed to be thrust into the air from a houseboat on the Potomac River. The big engine on the plane would then propel it through air for several minutes.

Using a Balance Sheet to Analyze a Company

Balance sheets are one of the 3 financial statements that we use to measure the value of a company. A balance sheet gives the value of all of the assets and liabilities in a company, and shows the difference between the two as equity. http://bit.ly/1K9srFX

West African Minerals Corporation (WAFM) is an AIM-listed iron ore mining and
exploration group with one of the largest land positions in Cameroon considered
prospective for high-tonnage, hematite-rich direct shipping ore (DSO). Through
its wholly-owned subsidiary CMC SA, WAFM owns 100% interest in six exploration
permits spanning the coastal vicinity of the deep water port of Kribi.
A large-scale exploration programme is currently underway to outline the nearterm
potential of WAFM's coastal permits towards production in relatively short
time and at low cost, in addition to establishing large volume resources close
to the proposed south Cameroon rail corridor. The regional prospectivity of
southern Cameroon as the next major iron ore frontier is exemplified by increasing
exploration activity and investment by global majors and diversified mining
companies.

I remember a long time ago when I was struggling how to start a real estate investment company. I had zero experience and had lost more than a half million dollars in bad deals. You could say I was desperate for a real estate investment mentor who could help me grow not only my income but my skills.
If you're reading this sentence, I suspect you're desperate to learn the finer nuances of your first few deals. Ones that get your cash flow moving and boost your confidence. This is the type of training I offer my one-on-one coaching students. Plus they learn how to replicate my business model.
Too many real estate gurus don't understand how to start a real estate investment company. They usually have been handed a business from family or spend more time teaching than actually doing their own deals. That's not where you want to invest your time.
I'm often asked about if my real estate investment company offers custom coaching. Yes andI've worked with hundreds of students who want to replicate my thriving business model.
Replication is essential to real estate investing. You need to pinpoint the best high-end model and then apply it in your market. That's how we built our own model to generate 8-10 deals a week.
If you're ready to learn what I'm doing with my elite national coaching students, here's what you need to do next.
If you're ready to learn how to start a real estate investment company you have an important decision to make. Do you want to dabble with half-baked training or watch over my shoulder how I close 8-10 deals per month?
